Result overview

Inconclusive

Outcome: The analyst should attempt subjective species identification at the genus level.

Reasoning: [Flag 1B] 2-3 candidate species matched with high stringency (identity ≥ 98.5%).

Preliminary morphology ID confirmed? NA

Inconclusive taxonomic identity (Flag 1B) Tortricidae.

Taxa of interest detected? True

Flag 2A: Taxon of interest detected in candidate species

Flag 5.1A: The given locus for this taxon is well represented in reference database (>5 entries)

Flag 5.2B: 10-90% of related taxa have reference sequence(s) at the given locus

Identification of candidate species

Flag 1B: The analyst should attempt subjective species identification at the genus level
2-3 candidate species matched with high stringency (identity ≥ 98.5%)

Candidate hits must meet ONE of these criteria:

Minimum alignment length 400bp
Minimum query coverage 85.0%

Candidate hits have then been classified as follows:

Classification Alignment identity Number of hits Number of species
STRONG MATCH ≥ 98.5% 30 3
MODERATE MATCH ≥ 93.5% NA NA
NO MATCH < 93.5%

Candidate species

Species Hits Identity E-value Database coverage
Ctenopseustis obliquana 25 100.0% 0.0
Ctenopseustis herana 3 99.8% 0.0
Ctenopseustis fraterna 2 99.3% 0.0

Analyst evaluation

Taxa of interest (TOI)

This sections shows the taxa of interest (TOI) specified by the sample submitter. Each of these taxa has been cross-referenced against the candidate species to determine if they might match the taxonomic identity of the sample. A blank row indicates a TOI that did not match any candidate species, meaning that it is unlikely that the sample matches that TOI.

Reference sequence source diversity

This analysis evaluates how many independent sources have contributed to reference sequences for each candidate species. This provides a measure of confidence in the taxonomic annotation of references sequences. A sequence that has been annotated by multiple independent sources is more likely to have a correct taxonomic annotation.

Analyst evaluation

Independent sources

Flag 4B: Reference sequence sources lack diversity and may therefore be unreliable
Reasoning: Matching sequence records for this species have only 1-5 independent sources (found 2 sources)

2 Independent Sources

The matching reference sequences for this species have been annotated by 2 independent source(s). A source is considered independent if the author list or publication title is distinct.

Intraspecies diversity

This section provides a phylogeny of the candidate reference sequences. The analyst can use this to make a subjective observation on how well the reference sequences are able to distinguish between species. If the phylogeny shows distinct clades for each species, we can be confident that the molecular data are capable of distinguishing between those species. However, if the phylogeny shows overlap between species, this reduces the capacity of the molecular data to confidently distinguish between those species. In some cases, we may see the query sequence falling outside of the adjacent species' clades, which indicates that our query species is not represented in the reference database, which could indicate a rare or novel species.
